There was also a candle, teddy bears and some prayers.

Nearly two years on, the couple still don't know why their beloved child died.

"The post-mortem didn't really give us a reason, just that the placenta stopped supplying oxygen to Isabelle," said Annette.

"They couldn't find a specific reason why this happened."

The mum, who is fundraising for RMB, is bravely sharing her family's heartbreaking story to raise awareness of baby loss and the "wonderful" charity.

She says she would urge other parents of stillborn babies that getting professional pictures taken of them after their birth is "definitely worth" doing.

"Even if you don't [think you want to], just say 'yes'," she said.

"Because you don't have to look at them straight away."

Annette says the canvas hanging on the wall of her family's home - featuring some of the photos of Isabelle - was a surprise from her husband.

"We see the canvas as we walk down our stairs every morning," she said.

"My daughter sees it every morning too."

She has set up a JustGiving page to raise as much money as possible for RMB.

In a post on the page, she wrote: "We were told about Remember Our Baby from the midwives and, after I had Isabelle, they came and took some beautiful photographs of us all together including our three-year-old daughter."

She added: "I never heard about this charity before this happened to me and I know they rely on many volunteers and donations and as a thank you to them I would like to raise as much as I can for this wonderful charity."

Cheryl, co-founder and chair of Remember My Baby, recalls how Annette and Miguel tenderly introduced Aoife to her baby sister with "smiles".

She said: "In just over three years since we founded RMB, I have met 152 families and I clearly remember meeting Annette and Miguel, and how they introduced their little girl to Isabelle with smiles and tenderness.

But she added: "It's only now that I feel I'm ready to try again [for another child].

"My daughter Aoife keeps me going."

Remember My Baby is looking to recruit more volunteer photographers to keep up with increasing demand. For more information on the UK-based charity, click here . To visit or donate to Annette's JustGiving page, click here .
